Lingering overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, the rain still did not stop, dripping, the yard was damp everywhere, Nangong Yu left the house early in the morning, Nangong Yu left, Shui Lianyue occasionally turned over, touching the cool bedding around him, Rao was a little sleepy, and he couldn't sleep, coupled with such a cloudy weather, it really made people feel bad.

The red tassel Luo Xi waited to finish grooming, Shui Lianyue wore a plain white long brocade robe, with a golden thread ditch, noble and beautiful, her hair and temples were simply curled, and she wore two gold-inlaid jade hairpins, looking from a distance, like a fairy in a painting, even if the people and guards in the palace were already familiar with the princess, but they were often shocked by her appearance.

As soon as Shui Lianyue came out of the house, she saw someone passing by from the courtyard, several people gathered together with an oil umbrella, and even Yahuan did the same, although she had an umbrella, but the rain still soaked their clothes, she frowned slightly and said: "No matter how economical it is in the palace, it will not even be complete with an umbrella"?

Behind him, Hongying and Luo Xi glanced at each other, Luo Xi had never lived in a big mansion, and many things were not very clear, compared to Hongying, she knew very well, looked at the courtyard, and explained: "Princess, there are umbrellas, but only two or three are allocated in each room."

Shui Lianyue frowned even deeper, and suddenly saw that those guards were all wearing hats and robes, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't they wear hats and robes like the guards?"

Hongying scratched her head and continued to explain: "House slaves and maidservants are meant to enter the house to serve, and it is very inconvenient to wear them, so there is no such thing as house slaves and maidservants wearing robes and hats."

In front of the courtyard, three more maids passed by, three of them hid under the oil umbrella compactly, their hair was already soaked, and their embroidered shoes were full of mud, Shui Lianyue shook her head and said to the red tassel: "Take out some money, bring a few house slaves, and go to the street to buy some hats and robes, the men wear these, and the women each have an oil umbrella."

Hongying was stunned, then nodded, turned around and went into the house to get an oil umbrella, while Luo Xi took out her purse, took out a silver ticket and handed it to Hongying, Hongying opened the oil umbrella and left.

Shui Lianyue's money, including the expenses of the Golden Spirit Palace, is in charge of Luo Xi, she is as meticulous as silk, she is very proficient in accounts, and Shui Lianyue also trusts her very much.

Until lunch, Nangong Yu did not come back, Shui Lianyue and Hongying Luoxi dined together, at this moment, all the house slaves and maidservants in the house came to the front hall, Shui Lianyue thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up and walked out.

The courtyard was full of people, and suddenly, they fell to their knees, kowtowing and saying in unison: "Thank you for the princess's hat and robe, thank you for the princess's oil umbrella, and the servants (slaves) thank the princess."

Shui Lianyue felt that her eyebrows were going to cramp, what was this, she thought something was wrong, it turned out to be just because of the hat and the umbrella.

She waved her hand and said, "Get up, it's just a trivial matter, why do you need to be so excited", it was still raining outside, and they knelt on the wetland in unison.

Hongying leaned into Shui Lianyue's ear and whispered: "Princess, the rules of the oil umbrella are the rules that have always been in the house, not just the palace, and the robes and hats, which are only equipped by the guards or soldiers, the best clothes and hats I bought on the street, each set cost three or four taels of silver, and it is not a problem to wear it for a few years, with their identity, they naturally have to be grateful to the princess."

Shui Lianyue glared at Hongying, and said angrily: "You can buy people's hearts."

Hongying playfully stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Princess, aren't people here for you?" Now all the people left in this palace are loyal to the prince, and in the future, when the prince becomes the emperor, whether it is the prince or the princess, there must always be a few caring people around him, isn't it?"

Shui Lianyue glared at her again, this little girl is not a little bit more powerful now, sometimes she can't say anything about her, "You think about it for a long time, but this princess likes it very much, hehe."

Hongying smiled when she saw Shui Lianyue, and she laughed innocently, and even Luo Xi on the side laughed too.

Since Hongying has done this, then, let her finish it, Shui Lianyue glanced at the people who were still kneeling, and there was a touch of majesty in her phoenix eyes, and she said lightly: "In order to reduce expenses, the prince has scattered a lot of people in the house, and the people who stayed behind must be the most loyal people to the prince, and some of them are still the old people in the palace, and the princess rarely pays attention to the affairs of the mansion on weekdays, which is a great trust in you, and it is also a trust in the prince. This princess hopes that you can always stick to your duty, and enter the palace in the future, and your benefits are indispensable."

As soon as everyone heard the princess's words, it made their blood boil, but they didn't expect that the princess would be so good to them and would take them into the palace? Once the prince becomes the emperor, and they will no longer be servants of the palace, they will enter the palace, at least they will be petty officials.

"The princess rest assured, the servants (slaves and maids) will abide by their duties, be loyal, and never betray the prince and princess, if they violate, they will be punished by God", I don't know if these people have all discussed, and the words they say are in unison, not even a word or a sound.

Shui Lianyue didn't expect that they would make such a poisonous oath? She was a little stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she nodded with satisfaction, and said with a light smile: "You guys get up quickly, go down and change into clean clothes."

Everyone also knew that the princess was eating, so they didn't dare to stay longer, and kowtowed and dispersed quickly.

"Luo Xi", Shui Lianyue sat down at the dinner table, thought about it and looked at Luo Xi and called.

"What's wrong? Princess"? Luo Xi saw the princess calling herself, and the body that had just sat down stood up.

Shui Lianyue frowned slightly and said: "Dedicate some silver from the account in the palace to the account of the palace, and restore the wages of each room to the original."

"Princess, what's wrong with you today?" Luo Xi asked quite puzzled, and bought clothes and hats for his subordinates, and transferred silver to the account of the palace.

Shui Lianyue sighed and said softly: "I just think that a dignified prince, the process of life is like this, it's really a bit cold."

Hearing this, Hongying on the side burst out laughing, "Princess, now you are richer than the prince, look, the prince now depends on you to have a meaty meal, hehe."

Luo Xi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, Shui Lianyue didn't laugh out loud, but said faintly: "Who asked me to put such a man on the table, even if he becomes the emperor, he may not be extravagant, and the money in the treasury, he will definitely be used to the soldiers and the people, hey."

In the evening, the rain was still falling, Nangong Yu did not return to the house, but sent someone back to send a letter, saying that he would stay in the barracks tonight to discuss the matter of Huai Gu, Shui Lianyue didn't say anything, just nodded.

After dinner, she gathered the four envoys of the Golden Spirit Palace together to inquire about the affairs of the past few days.

Since Luo Xi came back, although she tried her best to express herself, Shui Lianyue still saw that she was depressed, and she didn't ask her about Concubine Hui.
